Warmer temperatures are ahead

SAN ANTONIO — Expect some warmer and sunny days ahead, with temperatures reaching the 70s by Tuesday, the National Weather Service said Sunday.

Highs will stay in the lower 60s Sunday. Temperatures will drop to the mid 30s by Sunday night but a freeze is not expected, said Aaron Treadway, a meteorologist with the weather service's Austin/San Antonio office.

Things will warm up again Monday, with highs in the mid 60s.

Highs will be in the low 70s Tuesday and Wednesday and start to climb into the high 70s Thursday and Friday, Treadway said.

Thank winds shifting around from the south, and more moisture and warm air from the Gulf of Mexico for the nicer weather, Treadway said.

Temperatures will get close to 80 before the next cold front and storm system blows in, he said. Light rain is possible Friday.

The storm system will cause temperatures to again drop, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 40s over the weekend, Treadway said. He cautioned that forecast could change in the coming days, because it's still a week away.
